The species has not been illustrated since its original publication in The specimens provide information on the range of size for this species, as well as morphologic details to complete the original description. Key words: Crustacea, Carpiliidae, Oligocene, India Introduction poor preservation, we feel that above similarities are enough to merge these specimens with that of Noetling s (1901). Hence, the specimens Crabs of the genus Palaeocarpilius (A. Milne-Edwards, 1862) are a are assigned to Palaeocarpilius rugifer Stoliczka. This statement is relatively common element of Eocene to Miocene assemblages around somewhat confusing, as Noetling (1901) did not mention P. rugifer in the world, but most particularly in Europe (Satsangi and Changkakoti, his work. 1989; Portell, 2004; Beschin et al., 2005; De Angeli et al., 2007; In their list of fossil decapods from Paleogene and Neogene localities Marangon and De Angeli, 2007; De Angeli and Beschin, 2008). Of the of southern Pakistan and western India, Schweitzer et al. (2004, 14 species known for the genus (Schweitzer, 2003; Beschin and De table 1) omitted mention of Palaeocarpilius rugifer, and included P. Angeli, 2006), the type species, P. macrocheilus (Desmarest, 1822) macrocheilus as listed by Sastry and Mathur (1970), but these authors is probably the best known and profusely illustrated of all the species just mentioned P. rugifer instead. of the genus (Beschin et al., 1996; Beschin et al., 2001; De Angeli The specimens here reported include the morphological details and Beschin, 2001; Beschin et al., 2006). Since the original and very described by Stoliczka (1871), and some additional features that are complete description of Palaeocarpilius rugifer Stoliczka, 1871, no commented on the discussion of the species. other occurrences have been reported, except for a mention in Sastry and Mathur (1970), and in a more recent document on Miocene Geological background and location of samples decapods from East India (Ralte et al., 2009), in which one of two specimens identified as P. rugifer is illustrated, with unclear features The Kutch (also spelt Kachchh or Cutch) region of Gujarat, western that related it to the species; if the identification is correct, the species India preserves one of the best developed, fossiliferous marine would then have an Oligocene to Miocene stratigraphic range; however, Tertiary sequences in the Indian subcontinent. The exposures occur in the size of the figured specimen (about 4 4 cm, Ralte et al., 2009, a crescentic belt above the Deccan Traps volcanics of and are about p. 205) is rather small for the mean size of the species, which is rather 900m thick (Biswas, 1992). Since the first detailed work by Wynne large, and therefore the affinity of those specimens is questionable. (1872), the Kutch Tertiary has attracted considerable attention because As the final part of their remarks on P. rugifer, Ralte et al. (2009, p. of the wealth of its fauna, both and macro. Important contributions on 205) stated: Though other characters could not be deciphered due to

Material and occurrence: Four nearly complete carapaces. Hypotypes VPL/SB/KC 1 to VPL/SB/KC 4. Oligocene Maniyara Fort Formation, Kutch, northwest India. Measurements (in mm): Hypotypes VPL/SB/KC 1, carapace length = 55, width = 75; VPL/SB/KC 2, carapace length = 72, width = 85; VPL/ SB/KC 3, carapace length = 59, width = 78; VPL/SB/KC 4, carapace length = 110, width = 200. Discussion: The specimens from the Oligocene of Kutch are similar in shape and size to those reported by Stoliczka (1871). However, the diagnosis for the species indicate presence of eight tubercles on anterolateral margins, but in counting, Stoliczka included the outer orbital spine as one of the eight counted for the anterolateral margin, and therefore, the number of tubercles should be seven. The female abdomen illustrated by Stoliczka (1871, pl. IV, figs.1, 4) seems to be more slender than that observed in the female specimen of this report, in which the widest segment is abdominal segment 6, while in Stoliczka specimens, segments 4 and 3 are the widest of all. Comparison with female abdomen from other species, such as P. aquitanicus A. Milne Edwards, 1862 (see Beschin and De Angeli, 2006, tavola 2, fig. 1; tavola 3, fig. 3) reveals that the shape of the abdomen is more similar to the one observed in the specimen from Kutch. The male abdomen illustrated by Stoliczka (1871, pl. IV, fig. 5) is very similar to the one observed in our specimens, except for abdominal segment 5, which seems to be longer than on the original drawing of Stoliczka. Satsangi nd Changkakoti (1989) described Palaeocarpilius bispinosus, based on a single, large specimen (length of carapace = 7.8 cm, width = 10.0 cm) from the Middle Eocene of Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya, East India. The original illustration of the holotype is not clear, and as the main feature in which the authors based erection of a new species was presence of only two tubercles on the anterolateral margins, it would be interesting to confirm if the specimen had only two tubercles indeed, or if the remainder tubercles are broken. A large male specimen of similar size is here reported (Figs , hypotype VPL/SB/KC 4, carapace length = 110 mm, width = 200 mm). The morphological features of this large specimen indicate hat it should be classified as P. rugifer, as it has seven large tubercles on anterolateral margins and carapace shape as well as front is similar to the observed in the other specimens of this species. Small differences between P. rugifer and P. aquilinus Collins and Morris, 1973 from the Middle Eocene of Lybia were discussed by Collins and Morris (1973, p. 290), but the species from Lybia is very similar to P. rugifer. The present note was intended to contribute to the knowledge of a species which was originally described more than 100 years ago, with no other specimens reported in this lapse of time. First specimens of Palaeocarpilius rugifer were collected from several localities near our study area, some found transported on streams (Stoliczka, F. 1871; Wynne, 1872) in a region where rocks of the Maniyara Fort Formation of Oligocene age crop out. Foraminifers associated with the decapod specimens described in this note also suggest an Oligocene age for Palaeocarpilius rugifer.
